Definitions

  • This invention relates to dispensers for liquids, and is primarily intended for use by motorists in 'topping-up' the engine oil in motor cars.
  • the present invention relates to a new and spill-proof way of dispensing oil and other liquids using a conventionally-shaped container, and further using a threadably-engaged closure cap about the container opening, a secondary closure under the cap, functioning as a plug-shaped valve head attached to a push rod extending from the top to the bottom of the container.
  • This valve can be extended out of the opening, thereby allowing for free flow of the liquid from the container, or by having a twist top container neck with slotted openings inside, so when the slots are aligned, the fluid will flow from the container.
  • the container generally designated 10 has the shape of a conventional oil container with an upwardly-tapered top surface.
  • Element 11 is a safety stem attached to valve stem 12, and helps to prevent the valve stem 12 from falling out when pouring oil from the container, by its engagement with the internal side of the upwardly-tapered top surface of the container.
  • Element 13 is a closure-plug-shaped valve head mounted on the valve stem 12, that opens up the container outlet.
  • Element 14 is a closure cap adapted to be threadably engaged at the top of the container.
  • the threaded engagement is provided by means of threads 20 formed about the periphery of the top of the neck of the container, and the closure cap 14 being provided with internal matching threads.
  • the internal bottom surface of the container adjacent valve stem 12 has an opening with a tapered guide 15, to assist in the insertion of the valve stem 12 into the accordion type bellows 16.
  • Bellows 16 can be depressed so that the valve stem 12 will push the valve plug 13 out, and open up the container outlet for the free flow of oil.
  • Grooves 17 are provided on valve stem 12 to hold the valve stem in place by the inside edges of the accordion type bellows 16 acting as a back-up safety feature to prevent the valve stem and the valve plug 13 from falling out if, by accident, the safety stem 11 were missing.
  • valve plug 13, valve stem 12, safety stem 11, and accordion type bellows 16 is made of a flexible plastic, otherwise it cannot readily be inserted into the container or manipulated to open up the valve.
  • Wall 18 at the container bottom creates a cavity in which the accordion type bellows 16 are housed and protected from damage.
  • a plastic seal 19 with a pull-tab is glued onto the bottom of the container 10 to cover up the cavity.
  • the term 'conventional oil container' in the initial description of the shape of the container may be used in a comprehensive sense, and is intended to encompass containers having round or circular walls, as well as those with plainer panels and rectangular, cylindrical configurations.
  • Figs. 3, 4 and 5 Attention is now directed to the alternative embodiment illustrated in Figs. 3, 4 and 5, where it can be seen that the container 10, which has similar shape to that of Fig. 1, is provided with a slightly longer neck 27, and a different valve as a secondary closure container to that shown in Fig. 1.
  • the hull 21 of the container is filled with oil, and the oil is contained by a closure cap 14 and a secondary valve 24, 25.
  • the container will remain closed until the closure cap 14 and the secondary closure valve 24, 25 are opened.
  • the secondary closure valve 24, 25 can be opened by twisting the handle 22 which is attached to the neck 27.
  • the neck 27 creates an opening through which oil can freely flow out of the container.
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged detail view in which circle 23 depicts how the portion 27 is snapped onto the main container 10 and creates a tight fit seal 26 between the two component parts.
  • valve may be only partially opened to control the rate of flow of the oil and thus reduce even further any risk of spillage.
